This second book in the three-volume Plant Secondary Metabolites covers the stimulation, extraction, and utilization of plant secondary metabolites, are organic compounds that are required for the plant to survive by fighting off herbivores, pests, and pathogens. These plant secondary metabolites have been used since early times in various medicines and food products for beneficial health purposes and are still relevant and popular today.

The medicinal values of natural plant products such as secondary metabolites are well known. Presently, limited information is available on the effective exploration of plant secondary metabolites. To help fill this knowledge gap, this volume, Secondary Metabolites: Volume 2: Stimulation, Extraction, and Utilization, discusses the perspectives and technologies involved in the exploration of various bioactive plant metabolites.

Topics includes:
  • in vitro production and technological advances
  • methods for the extraction of biologically active substances from the various plants
  • advanced techniques in the extraction of phenolics from cereals, pulses, fruits, and vegetables
  • the prospective health benefits of the secondary metabolites of carrots
  • the diverse utilization of secondary metabolites from plant sources
  • the effects of different food processing techniques on secondary metabolites
This new book will be highly beneficial for academicians and researchers to explore the possibilities of natural secondary metabolites in plants.
